The gloom of night gives naught but green
In trees that gather closely in
Their leaves and fruit fall in their lean
At their feet my cheap gifts of tin.

I motion for them to take back
Human plunder
They wash back their green seas and
Make clear that some roots don't grow back.
Poem structure from Dylan Thomas' Clown in the Moon.

She came to him like a special angel from heaven
He had lost all faith, he was on his life number 7

She found a crack in his hardened armor
He was in disbelief, it was to his honor

They found themselves to be compatible
But his social graces where unconventional

Her beauty and wisdom sailed the seven seas
He never went beyond the forest and the trees

This Special lady tugged and pulled at his heart string
Witch made the melody of his soul dance and sing

She even stirred his passion with a big tight huggy
A thousand stinging bees filling his heart with honey

Her deep soulful eyes put a spell and made him pray
He just couldn’t stop thinking of her night and day
Putting him in a trance, not knowing what to say

This fine lady was in a class that has all that
This poor lad could only offer poems and a chat

The princess in this story was moving fearless and fast
He feared with his lack of nobility, the dream would not last

She drives, flies, floats, plays and stays first class
He always seems to be in a long line, to be the last

The feeling she gave him will forever in his heart last
He feels sad the best he has to offer, is all lost in the past
Dark mystery still surrounds this girl that likes white and black
He’ll try and sweep her off her feet with gifts of vanilla and lilac

Her biggest dream has to do with innocent smell, theses are facts
He hopes she’ll forgive him for all the thing that he poorly lacks.....

I don't want him
yet I want to gift him
Lavish him with things
Objects he doesn't want
The exact opposite of what he desires
Or so I hope to believe
From what I knew a year ago
And so it has changed
Most likely anyways
But I will take what I know
And I will give to him anyways
Everything that he doesn't want
Objects
Which is quite different from love
Smiles spread across faces
Like the tinsel on the tree that
Decorates and reflects beauty
All around, we can see past the
Hatred discarded like the wrappings
On gifts, carefully prepared
But torn aside to make way for
Kindness that lies beneath our
Hardened eyes, made cold not by
Winter, but something greater
That will not fade after these months of
Festivities and cheer that feel so strong
And wipe away our tears so easily,
Underneath our laughs like presents
Below the tree are undertones of
An unstoppable, unquenchable desire
TO BE LOVED
MERRY CHRISTMAS (sorry this is late)

ES - every year they adorn
our family Christmas tree,
bright baubles 
inscribed with a special 
persons name 
mummy 
daddy 
sis 
and bro 
these wonderful members
of our loving home,

AB - simulating ornaments on
The tree,
And Santa's preparations to sneak
In homes,
Christmas eves hour,
May have been filled with so much joy,
For toys,
And things,
And laughs,
Next year,
along with happiness,
Just like this one,
Will be most grand at its finest.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE

Time to celebrate the day baby jesus first opened his eyes
with giving and getting gifts and chiken thighs
all the food and wraps of blue and pink
Now at this moment i finally think
wait i don't believe or celebrate this, do I?
Every christmas i get excited because of all the commercials. "Like yeah i should get that for him/her" and seeing specials on tv emmulating how awesome the dinners are. And then i get my hopes up only to remember my family says it is pagan. But whatever merry early christmas to all of you peeps who do celebrate it! I hope you have a great time!

Christmas again...
It's time to give gifts.
Receiving gifts?
A big no-no.

Christmas is a time to give things to the people you care about
and show them how much you care about them.

So I guess I won't be getting any gifts this year...
just like every other year...
does anyone feel guilty about getting gifts? i hate it when ppl spend money one me....
its that time of year again where everyone starts writing poetry on the meaning of christmas. well here's ur christmas poem. don't expect anymore.

How does Christmas day go?
12am still cant sleep,
8am
wow
its Christmas
run down stairs
wait moms still asleep
maybe just a peek first
wake up mom
wake up dad
Merry Christmas

As children
we were all that way
so happy                                   ,
so merry
so ready for  Christmas day
but as we get older we see the truth,
and the lies
Santa isnt really
its only the the Christmas spirit
and sometimes
in the worst cases
Christmas means good bye
say goodbye to your money
and hello to a living room
full of presents.

But its all worth it
ya know?
To now see
why your parents did it for so many years
now to see
your children's faces
light up
exactly like the lights
wrapped around the Christmas tree

Christmas isnt about the presents
though so many people think it is
it becomes a time
to be with you family
and though your children,
they'll wont see it
see what you went through
to get them everything
everything they wanted
but once they do
they'll understand
just as you do now
exactly why you did it

gifts that are not
found, but taken
away with each breath lost
unwrapping the unending
layers of your beauty

Remember, some line up.
Line up and wait for their own day in hell.
They scream for victory.
The far away deep, lost heart places that  
dry up fast when cowards are left to tend them.

Accelerating, gnarled prizes, metal and tubes,
wires and guts and brains that smoke the sun's color,
losing it in the pitch of the rainbow-slicked sludge.
Up, up, and away, a dark celebration in song, something
shouted gleefully at the sky on the way to the gallows.

Desire, hate, and the teasing, fatted, greasy greed,
they all feed the Black God's Mirth, they'd better.
They'd better know he'll consume them as quick,
when the hard, cold mud-water fist envelops them
embraces them, makes them still again.

Don't waste your deep song throats on a trivial Godsson,
humanity-theif or cracked up narc, discarding dignity
as quickly as you give it up. Don't do it.
Give him breathmints and soap and humility, please.
He needs those.  

Don't take anything that isn't yours or can't be sold
quickly, easily locally. The bedroom path is
strewn with flowers no one loves
You are worth a little revenge now and then, get some.
Talk??? It's cheap ****. No one's buying.
Roughly composed in the parking lot of the Port Orchard Shari's, in the wee hours before dawn on Sunday, March 2nd, 2014, not because the idea is great or good or even anything at all, but because it was very necessary that I do something quiet, non-violent and not considered a felony in Washington State. I won (sort of, I didn't talk to any cops or wind up in jail that night) that struggle and the result is this piece of crap. Suggestions welcome. Seriously.
